Highlights
- Highlights:
- This Roadmaster was previously owned by YouTuber Tyler Hoover of Hoovie's Garage. He documented its purchase and some of the repairs performed to it in a series of videos that can be viewed below.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report contains multiple reporting gaps, though it shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies during the given time period. It also shows that this Roadmaster has been registered mostly in Texas and California since new.
- According to the Monroney Label provided in the gallery, this Roadmaster is an Estate Wagon model, and notable factory equipment includes the Prestige and Trailer Towing packages, 15-inch alloy wheels, Dynaride auto-leveling suspension`, rear-facing third-row seats, and automatic climate control.
- Notable modifications reported by the seller include Gran Sport exterior badges, a blue Alcantara headliner, and a JVC KD-G140 head unit.
- The eighth-generation Buick Roadmaster was the swan song for the GM B-body, which was first introduced in 1926 as GM's full-size platform that would go on to become one of the most ubiquitous and best sellers in General Motors' history. This is one of the last examples of the old-school, body-on-frame, full-size American car.
- Power comes from an LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine, rated at 260 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
